Classic

A few years back my friend and I coached soccer at our church's summer camp, and we had this kid named Gavin who was probably in 2nd grade or so, and he told me to call him Sonic cuz that's what all his friends call him.  He's kind of a chubby kid (that might be important to help you picture the story, i'm not sure. It could be irrelevant).

So I saw him in Starbucks the other night with his mom and his mom's friend.  They were in line in front of me.  He asked his mom if he could get something sweet to eat, and she told him no because she bought him a McFlurry earlier in the day.  Then she looked at him and said "you've been having a growth spurt lately!" And he said, "I know, i've been starving like all the time and always wanna eat. Is that what a growth spurt is?" And she said "sometimes that's what a growth spurt is. I've had a few in my life where I have growth spurts where I grow out instead of up." And he looked at her and said "Mom, Don't talk about yourself like that. You are beautiful!"

Yeah, really cute.  Just when I started thinking the same thing, I noticed that he proceeded to stick his hand down the back of his pants and scratch himself.  When his mom saw him, she got onto him and he started trying to touch her with the hand that was down his pants.

Classic.

I Want To Be Back Here!  Watch that.

I want to be back there.  I could definitely see myself living with these people and doing life with them while sharing the Gospel through my words and actions.
